EN60950-1 2nd Edition Takes Effect

IT manufacturers shipping to Europe take note: Today is the last day for EN60950-1 1st edition. iphone 6 plus remplacement écran Beginning tomorrow, all IT products must show compliance to EN60950-1 2nd edition. Products previously tested to EN60950-1 1st edition will not be grandfathered.

In general, the second edition adds consistency through clarification of either terminology or test methodology. Here are some of the primary changes:

Section 2.6.3.4 – Resistance of Earthing Conductors and Their Terminations – now reflects the North American National Differences in the present CSA/UL 60950-1.

Section 2.3.2 – Separation of TNV Circuits from Other Circuits and from Accessible Parts – was necessary as the former standard did not match up with currently-accepted ITE handling of TNV circuits.

Section 4.2.11 – Rack Mounted Equipment – has new requirements for evaluating slide rail designs. However, these requirements do not apply to sub-assemblies that are not part of a completed rack/system cabinet.

Both Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDR) and Audio Components get expanded attention throughout the new version of the standard.

Good news for manufacturers of IT equipment weighing less than 15.4 lbs, as the 10° tilt stability testing will be waived.
